I'm just about to return to Toronto after two days in Seattle. The major reason for me to come here was to see Seattle Opera's new production of Massenet's Don Quichotte (as you know, a piece that we will present in a future season) with John Relyea, but also to hear the talented members of the Young Artists Program (which one of our current Ensemble Studio members will join next season) and, finally, meet with my wonderful colleague Speight Jenkins who treated me to a fabulous Speerhead lunch (Speerhead is a fish, something between a trout and a salmon, not unlike our Arctic Char, delicious).
As always when I go west, it was raining almost all the time, but I'm sure one day I'll see the mountains.
This afternoon, I'll be back in Toronto, just in time to attend Tapestry's Oksana G in the Distillery District.
